You should pull the Distributor and spin the oil pump to bring oil up to everything in the engine, and pre-oil what bearings have "forced-oiling".. The Chevy 6 cylinder engine did not get "Forced-Oiling" (a Drilled Crank) until 1952..

Our old '51 Chevy 1 ton was happiest at 45, but would take 3 tons up the hill to the mill in top gear..at 16 MPH......!!!!
